President Donald Trump elected Brooke Rollins to hold the position of the new Secretary of Agriculture. Rollins served as president of the America First Policy Institute, an organization closely allied with President Trump.

Her hearing with the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry begins today at 10 AM ET!

Watch Her Nomination Hearing:

In a statement, Trump said, “As our next Secretary of Agriculture, Brooke will spearhead the effort to protect American Farmers, who are truly the backbone of our Country...Brooke’s commitment to support the American Farmer, defense of American Food Self-Sufficiency, and the restoration of Agriculture-dependent American Small Towns is second to none,” according to Reuters.

Rollins is confident that her background in agriculture as well as her experience with policy in Trump’s previous Administration makes her a good fit for this job.

Top Crop
From soil to harvest. Top Crop is an all-new series about four of the best farmers in the world—Dan Luepkes, of Oregan, Illinois; Cory Atley, of Cedarville, Ohio; Shelby Fite, of Jackson Center, Ohio; Russell Hedrick, of Hickory, North Carolina—reveals what it takes for them to make a profitable crop. It all starts with good soil, patience, and a strong planter setup.

The New Crop
RFD-TV has partnered with a handful of agricultural social media influencers whom we have dubbed The New Crop. These folks have taken to the internet to tell their stories and to raise awareness of where our food comes from and all that goes into feeding the world population.
Where the Food Comes From
The goal of “Where the Food Comes From” is as simple as its name implies — host Chip Carter takes you along on the journey of where our food comes from — and we don’t just mean to the supermarket (though that’s part of the big picture!). But beyond where it comes from, how it gets there, and all the links in the chain that make that happen.
